A Streak is Broken

We had made it from August 5 to last night with 0, yes zero, nil, nada, no night wakings.  Alas!  The streak is broken.  At 4:20 this morning Thomas let us know our presence was requested.  We suspect his teeth are getting the better of him :-(  He has two trying to poke through right now and two more on the way down in his gums.  Yuck.  Fortunately for him and us, he did well with some Orajel, Tylenol, a quick diaper change and cuddling for a minute or two.  We put him back in the crib and he went back to sleep pretty quickly (which meant we did too)! We are thankful the whole thing was less than half an hour...unlike the marathons in July!

New toy and some new kicks

We went to a yard sale at the school next door today. Thomas got a pair of shoes, some books, some jeans, and a great new toy. All this happiness for only $3. He's not sure about the whole wearing shoes thing, but the toy is a hit!

Baby Steps

Thomas took his first step today! He was standing at the bay windows, turned, let go and took a step to get to Tom. Of course we tried over and over for a repeat, but no luck. It was a complete accident on Thomas' part, but much fun for his parents.

The Very Shy Tooth

Once upon a time there was a little boy who had a very shy tooth.  This tooth lived in his top gums. It was so shy that it was afraid to come out and play.  The very shy tooth caused great consternation and discomfort to the little boy.  He had to cry a lot in the morning and produce great quantities of drool to try and drown the very shy tooth.  King Orajel helped sometimes during the day and Queen Tyenol gave some relief at night. The little boy tried valiantly to get the very shy tooth to come and play, but the very shy tooth still hid in his house.

The very shy tooth is almost ready to come out and play.  The little boy will be very happy and so will his Mommy and Daddy!

Charge!

Two posts in one day...whew!  I couldn't resist.  Tom gave Thomas an empty paper towel roll and it turns out it's actually a sword.......too precious.

EEBEE!!!!!!

We don't watch a lot of TV with Thomas, but thought we'd check out our On Demand service to see if there were kids' shows that he would like.  We've discovered Eebee....Thomas llllllooooooovvvvveeeesss it. There are lots of songs and dancing and babies playing.  He's only seen the 10 minute free shows they have on TV.  We're going to go to Target today to see if they have the DVD there.  He won't know what hit him :-)

Always Learning

It's so much fun watching Thomas learn and grow. He's trying lately to figure out how things go together. He realizes that his little toy shapes go into this truck in a certain way and he really wants to do it on his own.

He's still "walking" around holding on to our hands and is biting everything in sight since those slow top teeth just won't get here. Fortunately for all of us, he's handling it pretty well most days.
